up4gmat,

I'm making the following assumptions:

1. That your break in the U.S. is a vacation, not a case of long-term unemployment or short-term employment.
2. That you have a had steady employment in India exclusively prior to the break and increases in responsibility while employed.

ISB is a stretch. Both your GMAT and GPA are below average for ISB, and unless your work experience has been stellar with a remarkable record of achievement, I am pessimistic about your chances of acceptance at ISB.

Best,
Linda
